DiO Lewis Story.

The late DR.. Dio Lewis was very fond of
telling the following story:
A Young lady came into his office one
day looking rather grave and troubled.
Doctor" said she, do you not think
am looking very old tor twenty. and SC
hin, too-nothipg but skin and bones p
The doctor admitted that she was right
hat she did look rather old for twenty.
But, doctor, what can | dop' she
asked. Can you not give me some pre-
scriptlon ?"
Would YOU be willing to take some
thing very bitter?' asked the doctor
| Yes"
She would take anything if it would
ONLY improve her looks. The doctor told
her it was very bad indeed and must be
taken every night.
Il don't care how bad is, what is it p
1.-The tee hnical name of it is Bedibus
nine o'clockibus."
"Bedbus nine o'clockibus o, doctor
what an awful name ~
| Yes, it means that you must 90 to bee
every night before 9 o'clock"
80, that is dreadful thought it was
something to take"
What time do you generally 90 to bed?'
"Generalv about u o'clock"
Il thought so Now if you will 60 to
bed every night for six months at nine
O'Clock without making any change in
| Your habits. you will gain ten pounds in
weight and look five Years younger. Your
skin will become fresh and your spirits
| improve wonderfully"
"l'll do it, though of course when l have
company
at is regularity that does the business.
To sit up till twelve o'clock three nights
in the week, and then go to bed tour
nights at nine, one might think would do
very well. don't think this every other
night early and every other night late is
much better than every night late. 1t is
regularity that is vital in the case. Even
sitting up one night in the week deranges
the nervous system. Regularity in sleep
is every bit as important as regularity in
| food"
The doctors argument prevailed. The
lean patient suddenly exclaimed. doctor,
| will 90 to bed every night for six months
before nine O'Clock if it kills me, or rather
if it breaks the hearts OF all my friends
She did it, gained twenty-one pounds In
five months, and found herself in the very
best possible health and spirits. fresh and
Young looking, and quite delighted with
the new and simple remedy. which she
recommended enthusiastically to all heI
friends.

A Fair Start.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Callboard returned
from their wedding journey they settled
right down to housekeeping. Happier
doves never nestled in a fat, and Mrs.
Callboard determined to make home happy
for Charley from the start. No future
misunderstanding should arise in their do
nestle arrangements if her wisdom and
tact could prevent. When they sat down

Sympathetic Cat Adopts Family Of
Orphaned Pups.

Not long ago the mother OF three sleek
bull terrier puppies owned by saloon
keeper in Sixth avenue. near Thirty eighth
street, was crushed to death by barrel OF
whiskey which the bartender dropped on
her in the cellar. The puppies lay in a
nest of rags in the corner. As they were
less than ten DAYS old the bartender and
the saloon keeper ted them on milk for
two or three days. but the little orphans
whimpered piteously. and would not be
comforted.
When the bartender went down to play
nurse on the fifth day the whimpering had
ceased. He felt in the nest of rags. 1t
was empty. While he was hunting for
the pups under boxes and barrels in the
dark corners, he was saluted By hiss
and "spat." Striking match he peered
into cracker box against the wall. In
this box week before an old Maltese
cat had given birth to litter of tour kit
tens, all but one of which had been
drowned.
The bartender was astonished to find
the old Maltese cats family increased to
its original number by the missing pup.
pies. Their eyes blinked in the match
light, but they were getting their dinner
with puppy like industry. The only re.
manning kitten lay between two of them,
and was as busy as they were.
The old cat evidently had heard the
puppies whining. After enduring it as
long as she could, she must have carried
them in her teeth to her box and adopted
them. They still share her bed and board
and the old cat shows no partially in
washing, feeding and protecting them
The homogeneous happy family is the
marvel of that neighborhood.-Sun.
